WOMAN AND THE HOME.
The Atmosphere of Sweet Peace Whici

Tho Atmosphere of Sweet Peace which
should Prevade Every Family.
Nothing SO helps woman through
the long weary days of work, as the
knowledge that what she does is appre-
ciatcd by those she loves and for whom
she tolls. Think of this, husbands and
fathers, and remember that kind word
is always in season. II, on some MORN
ing, the coffee is shade too brown to
suit your taste, do not scold about it;
and. ON every other morning when it is
delicious, say SO. Try this way and you
will find your coffee, and every thing
else, to your taste much oftener; and
besides, you will give the ones you
ought to love best the sweet conscious
ness that they are doing their work
we'll. and giving satisfaction to the one.
of all others, they most desire to please
thus inspiring them with renewed
energy to strive for the merited re-
ward of kind, appreciative words.
And SO shall an atmosphere OF
peace, and sweet home happiness come
to pervade the whole house, born and
nurtured into beautiful, fragrant blos-
soming by your own kind words and
deeds. Let us all remember, too, that
the higher and happier Our home life.
the more wisely and better we may
hope to do the work that lies waiting
for US beyond it. A pleasant place to
'.come home to- is the greatest ener-
gizer a man can have. Then let us
strive with an earnest and constant pur-
pose to make and keep the home cheer
full, inviting and pleasant.
Every home should be brightly and
tastefully furnished, freely-if carefully
used-and every table should be regular
ly spread with reasonable variety OF
good, wholesome and appetizing food.
Economy is very good thing; but when
itdcgenerates int6unnecessary 'scrimp-
ing" it becomes meanness. The very
poor are often obliged to stint; but, what
their necessity makes virtue, is really
a crime in the comfortably situated.

certain amount Of what some consider
luxuriss to satisfy 1t, and this should be

were much colder than they; and they
danced and played all about the room at
such q rate that they woke up Mrs. Martin.
''How cold it is," she thought. ~ hope
Allie does not feel it as do"
No. indeed Allie was very warm; too
warm, poor Mrs. Martin soon found. She
was tossing and moaning with fire in her
veins that set all the cold airs in the whc.e
city at defiance. Early in the morning Mrs.
Martin sent for o physician, who pronounced
the disease the dreaded fever that had
ragged with such fatality among the poor in
"Ferris' row." Then followed long weeks of
sickness, care and anxiety; and it was not
until the snow was gone and the grass was
beginning to take or o faint green hue under
the cold spring rains that Allie was able to
sit for part Of tho day in the old rocking
chair The few dollars that Allie had
br6aght to her mother the night before she
was taken sick, had been spent long ago.

enough to last one more day. A quick
glance around the little pantry showed
nothing but cup Of milk for Allies supper
and little. very little, salt pork, no bread
and no -four. Think it was allowable foi
Mrs. Martin to feel Q little sad. As she
helped Allie up into the old rocking-cs
and tucked her carefully In the old shawl
Allie felt her mothers tears on her face.

cept offered terms, and the ability he
exhibits in directing the general
work Of his Department. 1t really
looks too as if the name Of Mr.. Whit
ney would be associated in history
with the building Of the American,
Navy. The respons, to him was SO
prompt that the work OF fitting up
the Washington Navy Yard as an
ordnance factory for the assembling
and completion of heavy guns aud
steel iorgings, will be begun soon
and rapidly carried forward. Need
less delays can be avoided because
it is shown that the gun folgings and
armor plates can he furnished in n
much shorter time than was suppos-
cd.
For more than eighteen months
Secretary Whitney has been indus
triously dcvising the means that
make success possible. He has been
studying the conditions of the prob
lem-dctermining the needs of de-
fensive armor, guaging the impact
of projectiles, fixing on tests by
which the Department will be gov
erned, and making the inducements
as attractive as possible.
Since all tho iron foundries of the
country are pressed with unfulfilled
engagements for months ahead, al
high prices, some surprise was ex.
pressed that there should have been
single bill for the millions of dol.
lars worth Of work that was propos-
ed. But the proprietor Of the Beth,
lehem compsny foresaw that the
boom would not last, and that i,
would pay 70 work for Uncle San
even on more reasonable terms, be.
cause his job would last for decade
or SO, both summer and winter, anC
his pay is sure.
1t is TO be hoped that there will
be no more lamentations Tor the pres
ent over the failure of the Nava
bills. At least Secretary Whitney
is satisfied with the outlook. He saw,
the problem which puzzled every
body is solved, and that the work o
fortifying coasts and equiping ships
is in jus. as good shape as it woult
have been il the Senate bills had be
come laws.
The effect of the new Intrr.Stat,
law upon this city will be pronounc
ed. Practically it gives the Capita
